Sims 4 Fire bug
Fire started next to fireproof fireplace in kitchen. Fire cannot be extinguished. No interactions are available because of the fire. No fireman/-women show up to help out. House has fire alarm and sp...
Was anyone cooking when the fire broke out ? Doesn't look like a usual fire cause that would spread.
There's no fireman in the game so,
Can you travel ?
No Sim was cooking. The fire didn't spread, it just floated in mid air near the fireproof fireplace.
And no, my Sims couldn't travel, because there was a fire.
Kinda stupid by the way that there is fire in the game, but no firefighters. Thanks though for mentioning this.
Sounds really weird. Did you play around with cheats Or did it just occur out of nowhere ?
I don't think there's much you can do about it other than closing the game without saving.
I've used the money cheat (motherload) several times.
I've also used bb.MoveObjects and bb.ShowHiddenObjects in the past on different lots. I have not used these two cheats in the current session and I've not used them on the affected lot.
I had no option but to end the game without saving, loosing three hours of game play before the fire started, plus another two hours trying to solve the problem. This however is not a solution (throwing my laptop out of the window would also make the problem disappear).
AFTER the fire started and went on for over 24 in-game hours, I've enabled testingcheats, to keep my Sims alive (they were starving and dead tired). I've also tried ResetSim and tried to reset several "objects", including all my Sims, multiple NPC's and the fire itself. None of them did any good, but the fire did get smaller for a few seconds.
